Rupert Murdoch is never less than lively on Twitter, but lately he's been, er, more lively than usual.

By which we mean that maybe it's time everyone's favorite octogenarian mogul got some supervision while he's plinking out his missives on his iPad.

Take, for instance, Murdoch's thoughts on the Malaysian plane that's still missing. It's a fast-moving story, full of details that are constantly changing—the exact kind of story that requires caution rather than any theory that comes into mind.

Or...

777crash confirms jihadists turning to make trouble for China. Chance for US to make common cause, befriend China while Russia bullies.

World seems transfixed by 777 disappearance. Maybe no crash but stolen, effectively hidden, perhaps in Northern Pakistan, like Bin Laden.

777. Still think this a reminder that US and China should be working more closely on Muslim extremist threat.

Then there's his comments on Monday about the St. Patrick's Day Parade:

Where will this end? Guinness pulls out of religious parade bullied by gay orgs who try to take it over. Hope all Irish boycott the stuff

That's more "Classic Rupert," but still...maybe one of his handlers should step in.
